Chapter 159 Chapter 159 Friends and relatives.
Facts have proved that the truth is often in the hands of only a few people.
One was expressing his sincere admiration for his wife's amazing golden hands, while the other just felt that the other was showing off his smart and capable wife.
How should I put it? Although they are not thinking about the same thing, they are essentially the same.
Wen Yi gave his fourth child an expression as if he had a toothache, and then ran off to play with Eleven. Although they were both single, Eleven obviously didn't want to pay attention to him.
The dog was leaning next to Xinxin, watching TV very seriously. I don’t know if it understood what was being watched, but it looked very interested.
The lively days are always short.
After this housewarming party, life became busy again.
First of all, Xixi is going to start school, and elementary school starts earlier than university.
The school that Xixi transferred to was not the same school as Wen Anjing and her brother. Although the three friends wanted to go to the same school together, the siblings' school was too far away and not very convenient.
Xixi's school was naturally chosen near Capital University and University of Science and Technology. The teaching quality of primary schools here is very good and the requirements are also high.
When Nie Sihui took Xixi to transfer schools, the teacher not only looked at their grades but also required them to take an exam.
Xixi's results were naturally impressive, and she passed the exam successfully.
On Monday, Mu Zhuo and Nie Sihui went together to see off their eldest daughter who was going to a new environment.
After registering for primary school, classes started on the same day. When school was over in the afternoon, Xixi came back with two little girls from the neighborhood. It was obvious that the little girl not only adapted well, but also made new friends quickly.
On the 21st and 22nd, Wen Zhan and Mu Zhuo went to the army one after another. After officially joining the army, they could only come back on Sundays, or Mu Mian and the others would go over.
It is impossible to get there in a short period of time. After all, the university is about to start and the houses in the staff quarters have not been allocated yet.
Two more days passed.
On the morning of the 24th, Mu Mian and Liu Shuangcui took the bus to the train station.
Shi Xiaolian and Nidan are about to arrive. The two of them took the train together. Mu Mian received a call a few days ago. If the train is not delayed, it will arrive at 10 o'clock this morning. This is of course an ideal situation.
The reality is that train delays are all too common in winter these days.
Fortunately, it was not too late. At almost twelve o'clock, the train from the provincial capital Lingfeng City stopped at the Capital Station.
It was the beginning of the university term at this critical moment, and the exit was full of people and very crowded.
Mu Mian looked for a long time but didn't see the two people. Just when she thought she had missed them, her mother pulled her arm.
Liu Shuangcui poked her head out and pointed forward, "Is that it? It looks like it to me."
Mu Mian looked over there, and saw two people who were carrying large and small bags and looked particularly dusty. "It's them."
In winter, we cover ourselves tightly, so you can’t really tell unless you look carefully.
Mu Mian held Liu Shuangcui with one hand and waved with the other hand while running forward a few steps, "Liu Yan, Shi Xiaolian, over here!"
They also saw the mother and daughter at the same time.
Liu Yan came running over, "Cousin, Second Aunt."
After a while, Mu Mian took the big bag from Shi Xiaolian, and looked up and down at his cousin and good sister, and said with great joy, "If someone didn't know, I would think you two came to the capital to beg for food."
The two men were dressed more tattered than each other. Their cotton-padded jackets and trousers were all covered with patches, and their hats were also tattered.
Shi Xiaolian: "There are many thieves in the car."
Liu Yan whispered, "Sister Xiaolian said that if there are thieves like this, the probability of them targeting us is low."
Liu Shuangcui agreed, "This is good. When you go out, you don't show off your wealth."
The four of them talked as they walked, and the two prospective college students who had just arrived looked around curiously.
Liu Yan's face was full of excitement. "The capital is really different. The train station is bigger than other places. When I got off the train, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find you."
Shi Xiaolian didn't show it on her face, but there was a hint of excitement in her pupils as she looked around.
Mu Mian: "We have only just arrived. Go home and pack up first. I will show you around tomorrow."
Liu Yan: "Cousin, I want to go to Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall, and the Forbidden City..."
The young man started to announce the names of the attractions quickly, his tone full of longing.
Mu Mian: "Go, go, you'll have plenty of time to go later."
It was already late, so Mu Mian and his men quickly went to the bus stop.
The train station was quite far from home. When changing trains, the two of them called the commune to report that they were safe. It was already half past one when the four of them got off the train again.
Mu Fugui happened to be chatting with an old man at the door.
As soon as Mu Mian and the others turned in, Mu Fugui saw them immediately. He strode over and said in a loud voice, "We are finally here. The train is late, right? The food is warming in the kitchen. Come in and wash up and eat."
Liu Yan smiled
Hehe, "Second uncle, you look younger than before."
Mu Fugui immediately looked smug, "That's not a big deal, if you play every day and don't work, how can you not be young?"
As he said that, he turned around and helped Shi Xiaolian carry some things. "Come in, Xiaolian, are you tired from the journey?"
Shi Xiaolian: "I'm not tired, sorry to bother you, Uncle Mu."
Mu Fugui: "Don't bother me, don't bother me. Don't be polite to your uncle. There are many empty rooms in the house. Just stay here and treat it as your own home."
As soon as Liu Yan entered the room, her mouth opened wide, "Cousin, did you really buy this house? Where is your boss?"
Mu Mian said with a smile: "If you don't buy it, they won't let you live there."
The old lady and Nie Sihui heard the noise and came out to greet them. The two little ones had already finished their meal and were taking a nap.
The adults ate and chatted, talking about things in the team.
After eating, Shi Xiaolian and the other girl packed up their luggage. They brought a lot of things this time, including beddings to take to school, and a lot of things for Mu Mian and the others, all prepared by their parents.
Liu Yan took out items one by one, including dried fruits and dried meat, all of them big and small.
Liu Shuangcui: "Why do you think your grandfather is installing all this? It must be tiring to carry him along all the way."
Liu Yan: "Not really tired, I put the luggage on the luggage rack as soon as I got in the car, and there are some things my aunt asked me to bring."
Shi Xiaolian also brought a lot of things, including quite a few pastries and some that were prepared by her mother.
After chatting for such a long time, the two little guys woke up, looking a little dazed.
Mu Mian introduced, "This is your Aunt Xiaolian, Cousin Liu Yan."
Xinxin called for help obediently, but Beibei was a little grumpy after waking up. He snuggled in Nie Sihui's arms, whining and making a fuss about going out to play.
Liu Yan volunteered to take over the job, and after a while, the three siblings with a huge age gap were playing together. To be precise, Liu Yan was the only one entertaining the two children. The boy who had little patience with his own sister when he was young has really grown up.
Shi Xiaolian looked at Xinxin for a while, then at Mu Mian, "It really looks like you."
Mu Mian was a little proud, "How could my child not look like me?"
Shi Xiaolian: "Sunzi doesn't look like my sister at all."
Sunzi is the child of Shi Xiaozhu and Xiang Xuewen. Mu Mian has never seen him. "This shows that the genes of Xiang's family are stronger."
After chatting for a while, Mu Mian saw her mother tidying up the room for them, so she went to help.
The School of Finance and Economics and the Agricultural University both start school on the 26th, which is earlier than Mu Mian and Nie Sihui. The aunt and sister-in-law reported on the 28th.
Shi Xiaolian carried the luggage into the guest room. Mu Mian looked at the bed, which had not been made yet. "Did you put the quilt cover on your quilt? Do you cover yourself with it at night?"
Shi Xiaolian responded and bent down to open her luggage. "Yes, my mother got me a new one."
After she finished speaking, she took out a small wrapped handkerchief and handed it to Mu Mian.
Mu Mian took it and asked, "What is it?"
Shi Xiaolian: "For Xinxin."
After she finished speaking, Mu Mian had already seen it. It was a longevity lock tied with a red string. It was made of pure gold and was solid. It felt very heavy in the hand.
Mu Mian raised his eyelids, smiled, and said with a somewhat artificial polite tone, "How can I be so embarrassed? It's a waste of money, isn't it?"
Shi Xiaolian said calmly, "All of them. I beat three of them at once."
Mu Mian stared at the longevity lock. "One for Sunzi, one for Xinxin, and one for Lele?"
Shi Xiaolian: "Yeah."
Mu Mian laughed out loud, "It's too early to prepare. Lele hasn't even gotten married yet."
Having said that, fate is sometimes really wonderful. When Lele was tired of taking care of her nephews and nieces, she even clamored that she wanted Shi Xiaozhu to be her sister-in-law, so that Shi Xiaolian could help her take care of the children.
In the end, they didn't become sisters-in-law, but sisters-in-law, and after all the twists and turns, they finally became a family.
Shi Xiaolian: "It will happen sooner or later."
Mu Mian shook the little golden lock and said, "It looks pretty good."
Shi Xiaolian handed over another handkerchief, on which were clearly visible three large yellow croakers, and they both spoke at the same time.
Shi Xiaolian: "This..."
Mu Mian: "You're giving me this as a gift? I'm really not polite then."
Shi Xiaolian looked at Mu Mian silently with a pair of familiar dead fish eyes, just like in previous years.
Mu Mian clicked his tongue, "You're just kidding. You're not sure if you leave it in the dormitory, but you're sure if you leave it with me? Aren't you afraid that I'll take it for you?"
Shi Xiaolian didn't respond to the obvious question, but only asked: "Is it difficult to buy a house like yours?"
Mu Mian: "If you have money, you can buy anything. I'll keep an eye out for you."
Shi Xiaolian: "Thank you."
We haven't seen each other for a long time, and we chatted about this and that, and the afternoon passed by.
The next day, a few people went out for a walk. For those who had never been to the capital, everything was new.
In a blink of an eye, it was the morning of the 26th.
Shi Xiaolian and Liu Yan both have to live on campus, they have a lot of luggage and the distance is far.
It was agreed yesterday that the Mu Fugui couple would send Liu Yan, and Mu Mian and her sister-in-law would send Shi Xiaolian. When Xinxin saw Mu Mian was about to go out, she followed him with her short legs, "I'll go, I'll go too, I'll send mom to school~"
Mu Mian: "Mom doesn't have school today. Your Auntie Xiaolian has started school. It's too far to take you there. The bus is very crowded. Can you take Mom the day after tomorrow?"
Xinxin understood and said, "Okay!"
It was only two days and it went by so fast.
